Truly spectacular! Perfect consistency and rich in flavour. Works wonders as a base on sandwitches, baguettes and so on, mixed with various veggies. It is ridiculously healthy as well as easy to make and perhaps the most valuable new recipe I've found this year. -
This recipe is great and I've made it several times. This is really good as part of a nori wrap, on your nori (seaweed), put one leaf of lettuce, sunflower pate, and various veggies like carrots, avocado, alfalfa spouts, etc and dip in a shoyu/wasabi or peanut sauce, it's delicious! Thank you for posting.

Ooh, this is delish! I made half a batch and it still made a ton. It's super easy to make and hopefully will last a few days in the fridge, as it will take us a while to eat it all. I will serve with crackers, on pita bread and in sandwiches for lunches this week. Thanks for posting, I'd make it again.

I'm an ex-pat NZer living in the tropical Top End of Australia. Which makes it a perfect place to make homemade bread and summer recipes all year around. I experiment on my 3 kids who have grown up trying new Zaar recipes every other day and they are thriving.
I'm the lacto-ovo vegetarian in the family and somehow I got roped in to become a Forum Host here at Zaar. So check out the Vegetarian and Vegan Forum http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=43 and feel free to join in whether you are a fully fledged vegan or someone who needs to cater for a vegetarian and has no idea where to start.
Every year I try to do something a bit different to push the envelope a little bit. In 2005 I learned how to sail a dinghy; 2006's grand passion is mosaics. Check out my blog!
Between raising three children, working almost fulltime and trying to pursue my hobbies...let's say that my time management skills have greatly improved over the years!
I am also very interested in living a sustainable lifestyle. Essentially I'm finding that I'm getting back to the country lifestyle I enjoyed in my childhood even though these days I live in themiddle of suburbia. To this end I have started gardening although I am a total gardening virgin when it comes to gardening in a tropical climate. I also have a cookbook with a number of recipes you can make from scratch. Living clean and green is good for you AND cheaper!
